Transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has said that he would not be surprised if Milan signed a player like Adrien Rabiot in the late stages of the summer transfer window.
Writing for Il Giornale (via Milan News), Di Marzio discussed the final two weeks of the transfer market for Milan and the name of Juventus midfielder Rabiot came up, as it has done throughout much of the weekend.
The main area of the pitch that Milan are still looking to do business is in the midfield. AS Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana is the primary target and as Di Marzio writes, they would have expected to have the deal done by now.
Monaco are not an easy club to do business with and Geoffrey Moncada is finding it hard to make the breakthrough needed, although an improved bid is on the way.
He then explains that, as shown by Juventus’ failed pursuit of Jean-Clair Todibo, a player saying yes to a proposal on personal terms will only go so far and Milan need alternative targets.
Whilst players like Manu Kone, Danilo and Johnny Cardoso have been linked, Di Marzio says: “I wouldn’t be surprised if in the end a luxury free agent like Adrien Rabiot arrived. He would be the icing on the cake for any team, it’s true that you would have to pay him a very high salary but he is a player who would significantly strengthen the squad.”
DiMarzio doing what he does best – fanning BS rumors around. Rabiot is an unfeasible dead horse. put it to rest already.
💯💯
Not sure what happened to him lately – surpassed by Romano and now all he does is grasp at straws
Redbird are going to pay Rabiot 8-9M per season??? Ya right 😂
Yes double pivot of world class Rabbiot and Fofana will do balancing between defense and offense. And that is important to win competition. Musah,Uncle Benny, Slowbega, Wick Adli, can be sold or act as backup for depth of the team.
those two are hardly worldclass. not even continent class
Yeah maybe half world class, since Declan Rice and Rodri are too expensive to get. That’s the best we can do this season.
Is it tho? A washed up asking for 9M net and a 35M ball carrier is the best we can do?
All we need to do is find players before they break..benacer, kessie, tonali. What do they have in common? They didn’t cost a ridiculous sum. But somehow we forgotten how to do that. Also they’re all bought from serie A.
Kessie quite expensive tho. 33M if I’m not mistaken. And that on top of one year loan fee in his first season.
Worth every cent..kessie was a machine
I guess Reijndeers is just chopped liver to you then.
We only need one defensive-minded Midfielder right now.
Two if Bennacer leaves.
I would be surprised if Rabiot came.
I just don’t see it unless he takes 5M
